Is This My New Mommy?

I was in the cat room this afternoon and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I've heard of this happening before but it's never happened with any of my cats until now. I quickly grabbed my camera and I was able to record this short video of Radar trying to suckle from Finnegan. It didn't last very long but a bit later he was back at it again. I didn't want him to hurt Finnegan so I had to break it up. Here's the video. Enjoy!!!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

Awwww - how cute is that??? And I think Sandie might be right about him needing comforting and/or calming, since he's never done it before.

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

They are so sweet
Filou who was 16 weeks old when we got him ( so he couldn't miss his mommy too much ) and who was 3 weeks older (but much smaller) than Tigris used to suckle with Tigris during his first year
They both got over it when they grew up ....
I think as long as Finnegan is ok with it (and he seems to say no when he's had enough) they should be fine.

Do you think the loss of Storm, and your emotions, has made Radar a bit nervous, so he is doing something calming? Just a thought.

Oh wait, isn't Radar the one who was quite ill recently? Maybe that is part of him needing comforting.

Yes, this could be happening for both reasons. I also e-mailed his foster mom about it and she said that she's seen this happen many times because they need comfort. She said she tries to keep stuffed animals with the kittens so they can get some comfort from them. Finnegan has been great with the kittens and he really loves them. He still technically a kitten himself until Aug. 20th. He's now become leader of the kitten pack.

That was quite touching and I dont thnk that Radar woud hurt Finnegan
If he did I think that Finnegan woud let him know in no uncertain terms
We are so pleased to see Radar up and about and not ill at all, that is Great News!!!
